[When the feed starts, there's initially a frowning green eye and light brown bangs, before Sakura holds her necklace a little farther in recording, trying to check it.]

Um, this is....this is working, right? I've only replied to others with this so far. Ah, I think that's it!

[Well. She guesses it is working anyway. There's a shift of movement as she gets a little more comfortable, sitting cross-legged on her bed and brushing some bangs from her face, biting her lip and taking a deep breath before starting.

I'm Sakura! I just wanted to thank everyone that's helped me here so far. I know this isn't easy and there's....a lot going on, but if we work together, we'll figure it out and get home! I'm sure of it! I heard others also got things? Some from home, or animals or something? I got a new spell. So, I wanted to let everyone know I can help if you get hurt, okay? Or, I can try. At least try help with the worst of it until we get you somewhere safe to a doctor, I mean.

[Is she rambling? Possibly. A little. But she figures the more help she can offer, the more useful she would be and this way people would know to potentially come seek her if they were injured, right? If she doesn't say anything, how are they supposed to know who might be able to assist them if they were to get hurt in more fighting or something? Not to mention finally mentioning the other magic she has available.]

Besides the Clow cards, this is one other way I can help. I want to do my best. To get all of us back home! Or....those that want to go back, anyway. I know I was in the middle of things, so. I can't be the only one. But I can't do anything about that from here, so I just have to do my best to get home and figure it.

[But. That's not why she's talking like this. Sakura shakes her head, giving a light laugh and looking almost sheepish for trailing off like that, almost apologetic.]

A-anyway, I guess that was the main thing. Other than wondering what everyone else makes of all this. The...the warning. And at that last festival, I mean. What we can do about this? And the sun. I should-- this is enough. Um, thanks for listening!

[As if this were some speech at school. She gives a slight bow of sorts, the motion of it swaying her necklace before she turns it off, rather flushed but pleased with herself at the same time in that last glimpse. She has been meaning to speak up with the necklace for a while and just been so busy and distracted with everything.]

['PARTY'? But still, he seems cheerful enough, so she can't help but smile all the same at the wondering on that username, before he introduces himself properly.]

Yes! Even with the Clow Cards, I couldn't heal like that. I guess this is a chance to possibly learn all sorts of different magic as we go to other worlds like this though. So, it's Masamune-san?

[Ever polite and still in the habit of using titles, unless someone tells her otherwise. She still sometimes seems sheepish and unsure with some of the names around here, adjusting when people tell her not to worry about using honorifics.]

[ yep party. All the party. if you hang around him long enough you will realize he does shut up about parties...

Considering he is from 1500s Japan and a clan head to boot, the honorific is actually very normal to him. In fact he appreciates her politeness. If they become better acquainted he might give her the ok to drop it if she wants, but for now it seems like something they both understand, even if just as a reminder of their culture. ] That's fine. Sakura-chan, then, is maybe more familiar to you?

Oh! Y-yes. I suppose it is. It's just, not everyone uses those here. Since people are from all sorts of different places, I mean.

[Because she is aware most don't use honorifics. Anywhere outside Japan doesn't have them, even if they might have some similar titles such as 'miss', it's still not quite the same thing. It's familiar, something that instantly has her relaxing a fair bit more in comparison to how nervous and formal she had been.]

That's true. It's okay, though. We can stick together on that part.

[ gives them something in common to relate easier! small things help definitely. ] As for all the stuff, we'll figure something out. That's why we're here, yeah? As long as we stay focused on what our goal is keep out heads up, the rest will fall into place.

[ which could sound not very proactive at first hearing. But focus and keeping a determined natured is the best way to see the opportunities and other clues to solving this. ]

Right! I guess with this many people around, there was sure to be at least one other person from Japan.

[Still, it's comforting even coming from a stranger in all of this. She gives a smile, a nod of agreement as she listens to him continuing.]

That is. Helping. That's what we are here for. Helping with this fighting, and the sun. If we work together, I'm sure we'll figure something out and get through this.

We got this as long as we do that, you're right.

[ his biggest concern is not of outside forces being too much for them but rather how much trouble will the team work together versus not? Luckily nothing too controversial has happened yet so there's no need to worry. ]

Never gotten the sun to rise, to be honest, but there's a first time for everything. Could be a handy skill for us down the road.

I'm not sure how we are expected to manage that. Stopping the fighting is one thing, but the sun....

[Then again. Some here apparently have rather impressive skills and magic. So who knows. Maybe her Light card might even be powerful enough. If she were to try it.]

Sakura-chan, don't forget where we come from. Maybe it's not obvious yet, but if anyone can help with this, don't you think people from the Land of the Rising Sun would be able to in some form?

[ pep talks obviously must be a thing of his even when they're obviously facing some really high odds. then again, he's a warlord from the sengoku era, what good would he be if he couldn't successfully put some positive spins on such stuff? ]

Hm. Y-yes! Or, I hope to. If there is some way I could help. Not just because of where we're from, but. We all need to work together on this.

[Teamwork. She's used to that. Just not in such larger groups as this. Usually it is just her, Kero, Tomoyo and Syaoran. But if there's anyone that could be boosted by optimism, it's her.]

Well, I'd say right now you are being plenty helpful just by speaking out about it.

Since so far, I don't know if we've really gotten anywhere since we've been here, to be honest. I'm hoping there's not a timer on this or anything.

You think so? [She could hope that even just talking about it might help somehow. Get more ideas and possibilities going between everyone. Reassurances.]

Ah, a timer? I don't think they mentioned we had a time limit though. I think they understand this situation is a bit more difficult....

That's true. But, I'm not really sure it's our employers I'm worried about giving us the time limit. People are going to get desperate eventually or the climate is going to start to suffer from no sunlight.

You think the people here, the environment.....maybe. The sooner we get this sorted, the better. I'm just not sure how.

[But out of all of them, if they put their heads together. Surely they can come up with something.]
